The Rockies made an informal seven-to-ten year offer to outfielder Carlos Gonzalez this winter, hears Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post. It'd take a special deal to buy out any of CarGo's free agent years, as he's represented by Scott Boras. Gonzalez isn't even arbitration eligible until after next season, and won't be eligible for free agency until after the 2014 season.
Gonzalez, 25, finished third in the NL MVP voting this season.
